Ashleigh pov: "Dally, don't go! Tomorrows out 3rd anniversary. I don't even know if te will come back! What if?! What if the fuzz catch ya?! What will I do?!", I yell at him begging him to stay. "Ashleigh. I would if I could, I told them if be getting them soon, and I'm keepin' my word. Ya hear? I'll be back, ain't no fuzz gone catch me!", he smiles down at me. "Fine. But if te aren't back I'll let Darry skin ya", I wink. "I will be back, I promise", he leans down to baciare me- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I scream as I wake up. My forehead dripping with sweat and my hair a Rapunzel - L'intreccio della torre mess. "Ashleigh, it's ok, it was just a dream", Soda says beside me. I look to him and I see pony in his arms. They let me have Pony's letto when Dally... I get up and head to the bathroom. I've thrown up every giorno for a week and I can't figure out why. I look at the mirror and I see Dally's face. I sigh and run to him. "Hey, baby, what's wrong?", he says curving his eyebrows the way he used to when he was confused. "Nothin', I just think I'm upset and it is just- just- well, I donno. I miss you, Dal", I say reaching to the mirror. "I miss you, baby. When te gonna come see me?", he puts his hand to the glass. "Soon, soon.", I nod. "Ok, well, I better git goin", he says blowing a kiss. "See te soon, baby", I say and blow him a kiss. ~~~~~~~~~~ I go lay back down. "Ashleigh", I hear Sodapop say. "Yeah, Soda", I ask. "You have to let him go", he says. "NO! NO! HE'S HERE, HE IS MINE, HE LOVES ME", I start yelling at him. Tears come unexpectedly. "Hey, hey", soda says rubbing my arms "it's ok, Ashleigh, he's gone, but it's ok". "Soda, why did he have to leave?", I ask shaking through the sobs. "He left so he could protect you", soda says pulling the blanket to my neck. "Ok, soda", I say as I drift into sleep again. ~~~~~~~~~~~ "We are here today, to honour a child who died a hero", the man says. "Dally?", I whisper looking around me. "Dally?!", I whisper a little louder looking for him. "Ashleigh, don't do this", Darry says with his tear filled eyes. "Darry, why are te crying? Where is Dally, he detto we would spend all giorno together for our anniversary", I say giving him a hug. "Ashleigh, go look in the box", he says pointing at a coffin. I look at him questionably but walk to it anyway. I tip toe and look over the edge. I gasp and fall. "No, no. No. No", I start to yell. "DALLY, YOU'RE HURT! DALLY WHAT HAPPENED? DALLY I COULDA- I COULDA SAVED YOU, DALLY!", I scream. I feel tears down my cheeks and arms around my waist. "NO STOP! HE'S HURTING, LET ME FIX HIM", I scream. ~~~~~~ "DALLY!", I scream & wake up again. Soda has an arm around me again and I look to his face. He is too tired to be awake, so I gently sposta him aside and gather my thoughts. I walk to the bathroom with everything I need. I pop open the pill bottle, I take a handful and ingoiare, inghiottire them dry. My body lurches but I hold them down. I grab the rope and fashion it around my neck. I tie it up to the doccia curtain rod and I tug on it to see if it is tight enough. I jump off the bathtub ledge. ~~~~~~ Soda's pov: I scream for Darry. "What happened?!", he says as he shows up da my side. Im holding Ashleigh in my arms, "she did it, man, she finally broke", I start to cry. Darry lifts her off of my and starts pumping her stomach. I run to the phone and call an ambulance. They drive away fast to the hospital. Darry, Pony, and I head straight after them. We get there and they take her somewhere we can't go. ~~~~~~~~~~ "We are here today, to honour a child who passed of a broken heart"
